Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

75% of the teachers were first-year teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for percentage will be used for the problem

The percentage is given by:

$Percentage=\frac{Quantity}{Total}*100$

Here

Total teachers = 57+19 = 76

First-year teachers = 57

So,

$Percentage\ of\ first\ year\ teacher = \frac{57}{76}*100\\=0.75*100\\=75\%$

Hence, 75% of the teachers were first-year teachers
